There’s Trouble in Them Thar Hills

Not to put too fine a point on it, but being a big-breasted gal
comes with certain, shall we say, perks. They’re certainly among
a woman’s most noticeable assets. And contrary to popular
misconceptions, a women’s IQ does not go down as her breast
size goes up. On the contrary, according to research conducted about a decade
ago by a sociologist at the University of Chicago, bigger-breasted women are
actually smarter than their smaller-breasted peers. By about 10 IQ points. So
much for the myth of the busty, dumb blonde.

I’m not sure what to make of that, but
it’s important to remember what breasts are actually for.
Research has consistently shown that children of women who breast feed—especially
baby boys—gain a measurable boost in brain matter—and
intelligence. While it tends to get lost in all the hype over appearance and
allure, it’s important to remember that the real value of breasts is
the incomparable nutrition they—and they alone—are capable of
providing. There’s simply nothing better than breast milk
for nurturing a newborn.

But rest assured, no matter what your cup size, if you’re
like most American women, you probably worry about the shape and size of your
breasts more than others might suspect. Women worry about asymmetrical breasts,
for instance, even though it’s perfectly natural for one breast to
be slightly larger than the other. Even big-breasted women report suffering
from self-esteem and self-image problems. Given the popularity of breast
augmentation—and reduction—it seems most women take the attitude
that “the grass is always
greener on the other side” when it comes to evaluating their own
breasts.

A study of attitudes in the 1990s towards breast size in America
concluded that most Americans’ preferences are shifting towards
larger breast size, at least among men. Women tended to prefer a smaller size
than men. But it may be too late for that. Research suggests that American
women now have the largest breasts, on average, in the world.

Some of that reflects better understanding of true cup size,
rising obesity rates, and the continuing popularity of breast augmentation
surgery. The latter, however, is no sure ticket to paradise. Research also
shows that women who undergo breast augmentation surgery are more likely to
suffer from depression, and are more prone to suicide. Which suggests that it’s
probably best to appreciate what you have, and set aside any doubts or thoughts
of envy.
